After dealing with matters on Green Shade Star, Xu Jingming spent some intimate time with Ling Shuang.
Then he returned to the real world and reunited with Ye Lan and the other two women.
Otherwise, being delayed for too long could easily arouse suspicion.
At the same time.
In the Virtual Universe, at the Eternal Hall within the Noah Empire's imperial palace.
Quinn knelt on the cold, star-patterned stone floor, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground.
The entire hall was permeated by a suffocating pressure, as though even the air had solidified.
"You said... Dier is dead?"
The voice from the high seat was not loud, yet it exploded through Quinn's mind like thunder.
Quinn struggled to raise his head and saw the imperial steward, the Eternal God Noah Lance, looking down at him.
Those eyes were like two burning stars, containing terrifying power enough to destroy a galaxy.
"Y-Yes, my lord."
Quinn's voice was hoarse beyond recognition.
"His Highness's life orb suddenly went dark, so I immediately began searching.
I found some traces along the route between the Sixth Planet and Ninth Planet of the Spirit Pivot Empire..."
Lance slowly rose from his throne, dressed in a silver-white robe.
With every step he took, visions of stars being annihilated and reborn bloomed beneath his feet.
The light throughout the hall warped with his movements, while space itself groaned under the strain.
This was an Eternal Level powerhouse acknowledged by the origin of light.
"Details."
Those simple two words made Quinn feel as though his soul were about to be torn apart.
Suppressing his terror, Quinn revealed everything he had discovered.
"I found nothing in the area where His Highness's Mental Strength had ceased.
However, that area still contained intense Destruction fluctuations and the aura of the Devil Race.
